EXHIBITS + RECEPTIONS
BREAD AND BUTTER by ASHLEIGH WALTERS
Bread and Butter explores the deep, multi-faceted role that food plays in our lives: not only as sustenance and nutrition, but also as a vessel for memory, identity, healing, and connection. This show invites you to reflect on your own personal food narratives, and consider how something as everyday as a bite to eat can hold extraordinary meaning.
TOOLS AND TABLE
Showcases the diverse ways artists have depicted or created functional tools, dishware and serving pieces used to make or serve food or enhance and table setting in various media, exploring themes from cultural significance to mass consumption. This exhibit features a wide range of works in various media, offering a multi-sensory experience that stimulates visual and intellectual curiosity.
EXHIBITION | March 16 – May 8, 2026

PRINT AND SHOOT
This is a juried Art Exhibition focusing on Printmaking and Photography. Minimalism—Less is more. Capture the essence of simplicity, clean lines, negative space, and restrained beauty. Whether through stark landscapes, abstract forms, or quiet moments, the exhibition welcomes works that evoke clarity, balance, and the power of intentional reduction through the eyes and works of printmakers and photographers.
EPHEMERAL LANDSCAPES by Amy Kutell
As the winner of our first annual “Art Throwdown”, Amy was granted a solo exhibition. Her work is inspired by the natural world around her. Displayed in geographic categories, they represent different locales and time periods throughout her artistic journey, exploring natural views, light and composition. Visit each area – upstate New York, France and South Florida, and immerse yourself in the experience!
